you think there will oe a reduction CT
revenue this winter"
"I hope and believe that it will be not

duction also OF the burdens Of taxation.
think that events have so shaped them
selves that no mau Can st1nd up
| 10 the House this winter and
resist motion to enter committee OF the
whole for the purpose Of agreeing upon q
bill for the reduction of the revenue.
| No man will say that the revenue should
not be reduced. l think IL will be agreed
that whether the bill presented be good
Ut bad bill, they should take 1t up and
trust to the intelligence of the House to
bring out good act. Just what the re-
suit may be l have no idea, but l think
that among Republicans and Democrats,
men OF all shades of opinion who think
something should be done, 6 bill meeting
in some way the demands of the Occa-
sion will be passed and the
revenue will be reduced without increas
ing the burdens OF the people. l think
Tuesdays elections have settled it That
Mr.. Cleveland will be re-nominated and
unless Congress goes radically wrong he
will be r elected"
